- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains group care facilities inspected by the Florida Department of Health. The facilities included in this dataset can be broken into three broader categories: Residential Child Caring Agency, Public & Private Schools, and Residential Group Care Facilities.
Residential Child Caring Agencies include, but are not limited to, maternity homes, runaway shelters, group homes that are administered by an agency, emergency shelters that are not in private residences, and wilderness camps. Residential child-caring agencies do not include hospitals, boarding schools, summer or recreation camps, nursing homes, or facilities operated by a governmental agency for the training, treatment, or secure care of delinquent youth, or facilities licensed under Florida Statutes (FS) 393.067 or s. 394.875 or chapter 397.
Public & Private Schools include any school facility such as a charter school, college/university, private charter school, private school, public school, and vocational school. Keep in mind, there is no state licensing of schools or educational facilities in Florida. There may be local county government fees assessed or permits issued through the local county health department in relation to physical plant, environmental health or sanitary standards. The Department of Education (DOE) operates the public school system and oversees charter schools in Florida through local county school boards. Any school facility is required to get a satisfactory group care environmental health inspection from the local county health department prior to opening or operating in Florida.
Residential Group Care Facilities includes assisted living facility, adult family-care home, short-term residential treatment center, residential treatment facility, home for special services, transitional living facility, crisis stabilization unit, hospice, and intermediate care facility for persons with developmental disabilities. Keep in mind, the Department of Health (DOH) does not license various residential group care facilities. Licensing is done by one of two state agencies referred to as the primary licensing agency. The two primary licensing agencies for residential group care facilities that DOH regulates are the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF).
- Purpose:
-
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS
systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Residential Child Caring Agency information:
In general the Department of Health (DOH) provides an environmental health inspection
of the food service area to ensure basic food safety and sanitation standards are
followed. Per subsection 409.175(6)(e) of the Florida Statutes (F.S), and at the
request of DCF, DOH will conduct an annual routine inspection at DCF licensed
residential child-caring agencies and apply designated food safety standards, which
are located in DCF rule 65C-14.010 of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The
request from DCF is made through to the local County Health Department (CHD) in
the county that the facility operates. An environmental health inspector from the
local CHD will conduct the inspection and provide the inspection results to DCF.
Public & Private Schools information:
At schools, we ensure good sanitary health and safety practices are in place related
to construction, operation, and maintenance among the children, employees, and
visitors to the school facility. Our purpose is to prevent or minimize the risk of
transmitting disease, injury, or bodily harm. The list below includes some of the
primary areas the environmental health inspectors check during their inspection visit
of the educational buildings:
Maintenance & Repair, Lighting, Vermin/Animal Control, Water Supply, Liquid & Solid
Waste, Heating and Air-conditioning, Sanitary Facilities/Restrooms & Showers, Hand
Washing Facilities & Supplies, Playground Equipment
The DOH does not inspect dormitories.
The State Department of Education (DOE) has the responsibility and authority to write
rules for public and private schools in Florida and the Department of Health has
inspection authority to apply the DOE standards, per statute 381.006(16).
There are two different rules that apply, depending upon the type of school: public,
charter, and private (Non-public K-12 grades). However, in the case of charter
schools, DOE standards apply based on the individual charter schools physical location.
If the charter school is located on public school property or property owned by the
local county school board, the public school rule standards apply. If the charter
school is located on property or in a building not owned by the local county school
board, then the private school rule and standards apply.
Residential Group Care Facilities information:
The Department of Health (DOH) inspects any DCF or AHCA licensed residential group
care facility listed above using Chapter 64E-12 of the Florida Administrative Code
(FAC). These DOH group care environmental health inspections are conducted once
annually by environmental health field staff from the local county health department
(CHD). While there is no state DOH fees related to annual residential group care
environmental health inspections, more than half of Florida 67 local CHDs do have
local inspection fees passed/approved through the local Board of County or City
Commissioners. For information on local fees, please contact the local county health
department directly.
In various residential facilities an environmental health inspection helps the
facility ensure good sanitary health and safety practices are in place related to
construction, operation, and maintenance among the residents, employees, and
visitors to the facility. Our purpose is to prevent or minimize the risk of
transmitting disease, injury, or bodily harm. The list below includes some of the
primary areas the environmental health inspector checks for during their
inspection visit:
House Keeping, Lighting, Vermin/Animal Control, Bed/Bedding, Water Supply,
Liquid & Solid Waste, Housing, Sanitary Facilities, Outdoor Area & Equipment,
Indoor equipment/furnishings, Areas Related To Disease Control and Injury
Prevention Need Special Attention, Food Hygiene & Sanitation, Sanitary bedding,
Solid Waste/garbage, Sanitary Facilities (Restrooms & Bathing Facilities),
Repair and Upkeep, Safe Outdoor Recreational Area, Vector and Vermin Control,
Water Temperature
The inspector will look throughout the facility to ensure it is being properly
maintained.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
